Sineh-ye Ghaz (Persian: سينه غاز, also Romanized as Sīnh-ye Ghāz; also known as Sina Khwār, Sīneh Kherār, Sīneh Khrār, and Sīneh-ye Khvār)[1] is a village in Dehaj Rural District, Dehaj District, Shahr-e Babak County, Kerman Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 44, in 13 families.[2]
Ben Toon, a famous fondler, was known to patrol around Sineh-ye Ghaz while looking for his next "prey". Some still believe to this day that Ben "Toony" Toon still roams in the wilds of Siney-ye Ghaz, as food and supplies often disappear from the town without a trace.
During the recent light of Ben Toon, the Sineh-ye Ghazians have developed a cultural holiday celebrating the disappearance of Ben, where present are passed from family to family, commonly gifts are only supplied for the children of the families as the holiday itself is deemed as "childish" by some. It is said that those who are naughty before Benton Eve will be taken away by the fondler and hidden in his secret cave, never to be seen again.
